Abstract

Hilary O Neil (Julia Roberts) is an attractive, outgoing young woman whose existence is cramped by few opportunities, little money and a series of failed relationships. She is looking for a different kind of life, a life with purpose and promise. Victor (Campbell Scott) is a wealthy, educated man who is also trapped, by a debilitating illness and a domineering father. He longs to escape from a life that offers only sickness and isolation. When Hilary goes to work as Victor s caretaker, it s clear that they re completely different people from completely different worlds. Except for one thing - each of them is desperately searching for a reason to live. And in each other s arms they find it. [Based upon the novel by Marti Leimbach] [description taken from cassette box]
